Now that the Mac App Store has been snuck installed onto your machine alongside Mac OS X 10.6.6, you might be wondering - is there some way to remove that monstrosity of an application from my Mac? While it's not officially supported, it does seem like Apple has taken this scenario into account.

Those "icons" on Mac are actually directories -- UNLIKE on Windows, GNOME or KDE. You can see it, if you execute a "ll /Applications" and see that every "icon" has an ".app" suffix which classifies an app directory with an app-specific directory structure.
